We had a suspicion the other day
when Mr.. Cleveland was entertaining
the Indianapolis people pleasantly by
retailing them the history of their own
city, that he was drawing upon other
than his own individual stock of geo.
graphical and historical knowledge. The
secret of it is given away by the New
York Sun, which shows conclusively
that the Indiana speeches were prepar-
ed from articles published in Dana's
American Cyciopaedia" and from ex-
tracts published it appears that very lit
tie attention was even paid to re-arrange-
ing the matter. The President should
be above imposing upon the people in
that way. The Westerners desired to
form an opinion of Mr.. Cleveland from
utterances which sprung from his own
ideas and thoughts and it is small Won
der the secondhand stuff felt fat on his
hearers. We are glad to say that since
the expose of the Sun Mr.. Cleveland
has doubtless abandoned his prepared
speeches, and it is noticeable that hi:
remarks have a much better effect.

THE PUBLIC RECEPTION.
Cleveland Shakes Hands at the Rate
of Forty-SeVen Per Minute.

Cleveland Shakes Hands at the Rate
of Forty-Seven Per Minute.
CHICAGO, Oct. with one bursting,
frantic cheer crashing through the great
rotunda, mob of 10000 people rushed
like wild beasts at President Cleveland
and his wife this afternoon in the Palmer
house. 1t was the reception to the gen.
eral public, and the chief magistrate,
with his radiant companion, had Just de-
cended the main staircase. So thunder
Gus was the din that the score of per
spring trumpeters seemed to be making
a dumb show. In vain did the police,
club in hand, attempt to stem the rush.
The rope barriers had been swept away
at the first onset. 1t was we'll that a
nook of safety had been provided for
Mrs. Cleveland. Immediately to the
right of the staircase was an alcoVe al
most hidden in silken bunting and wav-
ing green plants. Into this she was has
tily thrust, while the president, giving a
single sweeping glance at the surging
crowd, plunged into its midst and sturdi-
ly shouldered himself by sheer strength
into the place where it had been decided
he should stand. Three times did files
of brawny dismounted cavalrymen seize
the END OF one OF the ropes that had been
DASHED TO THE FLOOR
and strive to drag back the eager multi
tude. Only with the aid of a double
Gordon of poIice-the front line backing
against the crowd and the second rank
pushing their blue-coated comrades for
ward-did the lasso maneuvers of the
soldiers bring faint semblance of or
der: The president meanwhile was
shaking hands right and left till he was
red in the face and his fresh linen col
lar lay limp above his black Prince Al
bert coat. President Cleveland shook
hands with redoubled vigor, and an act
ual count at this juncture showed his
gait TO be forty-seven handshakes a
minute. This was kept up without in
PERMISSION until the time fixed for the
reception to end, and not a person in
the line was missed. A low estimate of
the number who marched passed him is
5000 persons. But they were the for
tunate few. Thousands upon the cor
ridors and thousands upon thousands in
the streets failed even to catch a sight of
his face. The rotunda and halls of the
hotel, like the outside thoroughfare for
blocks around, had been taken,complete
possession of by the gigantic outpouring
of people an hour before the reception
began and restraint of any kind seemed
impossible. During the crush it is safe
to say as many as fifty women had to be
borne from the throng into the stores
near by, fainting from exhaustion.

We notice that Dick rrevellick, of
Detroit, is one of the moving spirits in
the Minneapolis convention. Treyellick
has been working-with his mouth-for
the cause of down-trodden labor ever
since we can remember. He was very
prominent in the Greenback craze that
ragged few years ago, and thought the
National party contained cure for
all the ills of the laboring man. AS the
remedy disappointed its friends, Trevel-
lick had TO seek new fields and drifted
into the Knights of Labor, and now
holds the important position of "lectur-
err for that organization. Whether
Mr.. Trevellick's devotion to the cause
through all these years has been from
unselfsh motives or whether he finds
it soft" way of making a living he car
best tell himself. One thing seems GER
tain, however, that in a laboring mans
movement the less professional Jaw
smiths" supported the better.

The building in West Mankato owned
by Mr.. Dennis Sullivan and formerly
occupied as a saloon burned to the
groundThursday night between the hours
of twelve and one o'clock. An alarm was
sounded and brought out the West
Mankato Hose company and the Hook
and Ladder company, but as there was
no water supply the hose was useless.
The contents, consisting of a pool table
and other fixtures, were all lost, there
being no time 10 save anything.
Mr.. Chas. Haliman's blacksmith shop
on the north caught fire, but was saved
after some trouble. Mr.. w. M. G,
Foote'S grocery store on the south mar
rowly escaped the flames. Both build
ings were cleared of their contents and
the latter considerably damaged by
water.
The burned structure was two-story
frame building. The fire started by the
accidental upsetting of a lamp. The
total loss is from $500 to 81 ZOO. The
building was insured in Roses agency
for $500 and the fixtures for 1925.

Board was held last night, but very little
business was transacted except the
levying of school tax for the ensuing
year. The board decided to levy $780,

this $l3, 800 is for salaries and the bal.
ance for heating apparatus, repairs, in
terest and miscellaneous. Last year $l5,,
600 was levied. The additional levy fol-
next year was made in order to have q

next school year and not be obliged to
borrow as was the case at the beginning
Of this school year. The tax made
last night is an increase of 1.9 mills over
last year,

Drawing in the High-Schoo1.


Those who were present at the reception given
by the art class of the High-school on Saturday
afternoon and evening must have been i'm
pressed with the excellence of the work and its
great value to the pupils The work has been
an outgrowth of the demands made by the pu-
pills themselves.
Drawing is an elective study and takes its
place with other elective studies in the High
school course. The time given to 1t daily, forty
Eve minutes, is the time given to any other reci-
tation. The entire work Is under the direction
of Miss Rhoda E. Selllck who is responsible for
plans and results. Whatever has been accom-
plished is due wholly to her training. The work
Is done in pencil. black and colored crayon and
charcoal, and shows great variety in subjects
and methods OF treatment Objects in
outline tosSa and from Objects land
and from nature figures Of animals
from copy and from life, the human figure
from copy, chart and from life are some of the
lines Of work presented in endless variety of
forms. which showed the freedom and individu
atty of the pupils
The course of training aims to give the pupil
the power to draw anything from the object
from nature. The work follows a line of devel-
opment by which the student is made independ-
emit soon possible His time and energy
saved by guidance; yet he is given freedom
in his choice of subjects. Beginning with the
fundamental forms-the sphere, the cube. the
cylinder. the cone--the student is led gradually
to more difficult studies. He is taught perspect-
i've in the most practical way, the necessity
for it arises in his work. This is an improve
ment upon the plan of laying up for future use
long course of mechanical perspective, which
is such dreary work for young pupils
The pupils are enthusiastic about their work,
and feel that it has given them power which
they could have gained in no other way. Said
pupil: Il think never really saw anyth thing
before" This is one of the means by which the
great question of industrial education is to be
solved. To train the eye to and the mind
to express itself through the hand by some art
which is universal is all that industrial educa
ton should propose below the technical school.
That need this training, not only for its i'm
mediate value, but for the quality of mind
which it produces, can doubt who has
studied education in the light of modern
thought. Theory and practice are equally val
liable in each subject and in every course of
study. The point which the educator must keep
in view ID the relation of these two sides. If
one is allowed to take the place of the other. the
result is weak and helpless.
Drawing is valuable to the individual in any
and all vocations because it helps to give him
insight into and a mastery over the practical
world; but it is especially valuable to the arti-
san, the scientist and the teacher. No teacher
of little children should attempt the difficult and
delicate task without this power to represent to
the eye of the child what languarge must fail to
make clear. Miss NEBRASKA CRoPsY.
